Hotels in Tanzania

Sanjey was amazing, he was helpful throughout my stay. The hotel is a bit far from most places.

It was amazing! It was really soo beautifully decorated. Simple but pretty. Loved the little water bowl outside the room to rinse your feet. The staff were soo kind & helpful. The only thing the room needs is a long mirror in the room. And the restaurant food can be slightly improved. But otherwise all.good! I will definitely recommend it!

Nice pool right at beach - but very basic breakfast

Very charming hotel . Very sweet and available staff . They did their best to bring our luggage back at our room after being lost by the airline company : we could haven’t done with the staff ! Very comfortable room , clean and with AC. The restaurant is very good . The best we have tried in Zanzibar by far. Do not miss the Cigale lobster it is a must eat in their restaurant. It is a very good...

Coco Beach is a beautiful and soothing resort in the heart of Paje! A buzzing and city like environment with positive vibes & energy. The beach is beautiful the rooms are well maintained and clean, the hospitality staff are amazing. Its comfort , simple and quiet yet never boring. A true amazing experience i had with my family including three little ones. It is in fact my second visit in the past three...

Everything was perfect if you like simplicity and calm. If you have any questions the staff members will always be there to answer your question. We have loved everything about this hotel, the staff members were so nice to us, very helpful if you want to make plans in Zanzibar they will give you advices on the activities that you can or can't do, the pictures are really the same in...

The rooms, service are goods are all but the location is even better in dar with nyam nyam if u know wat i mean

Esperanza at the reception is exceptional.. thanx for that customer care

Hotel environment is so friendly with great customer care, the rooms have space, had sauna that is mixed with healthy organic herbs it was a great experience, I recommend the hotel and thank me later.

The hotel looks very good but the front desk service is very unprofessional. The room disappoints. Bedding old, ruffled, TV with one channel. A la carte dinner Ok, very nice waiter service. Very modest breakfast. Overall impression not very good.

This was my first time in the facility. I didn't see any inside of a room but the Kitulo Function Hall was well ventilated and spacious.

This is a pretty nice local hotel.The staff is amazingly nice and helpful. I chose Nefaland because it is right across the street from the ABC Upper Class ticketing office. I use them when traveling to Iringa because I can board the bus directly at their office before they head out to the bus station on the limits of Dar es Salaam. So Staybg at Nefaland is great for that since the bus leaves at 5am...

This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy...

My room was a work of art with unique furnishings and exquisite detail

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, we arrived very early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised when they offered us breakfast and allowed us to check in early. The property itself is stunning: a beautiful historical building that has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious, elegant...

It is one of the best hotel I've ever stayed. Excellent room, staff, services. The hotel and the rooms are in traditional Zanzibar architecture style, which gave me great experience. Staff is considerate and detail oriented. The dinner at the rooftop is wonderful. One minor downside is the shower had low water pressure due to my room was in the top floor. Sometimes I had to wait for 1-2 minutes until...

The rooms were decorated well and was very clean. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Loved the rooftop for breakfast and the location was perfect.

Special place. The staff outstanding. A few remarkable days at this wonderful historic 'hotel'.

It was neither good nor bad, just average. It didn't feel very clean. What bothered me more was the large number of mosquitoes.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. However there is a bit of disturbance from rats running around during the night which is make me more scary but it’s not big deal we have been experiencing it even in other hotel in big city. Nice amazing staff and food is good. Points is very closer to the ferry which is also very nice. Super thankful for my lovely chef abillah he made my stay perfectly. Hakuna...

Nice hotel with budget pricing.

Great place, amazing people 😄

The hotel rooms are spacious with balconies and the location of the hotel is in the middle of stone town easy access to everything

Nice staff I arrived after dinner, and they thought I was a no-show so they gave up my premium room. The next day they moved me to a nice room. The place itself is definitely not fancy. But the staff were all super nice and helpful. The people in Zanzibar are pretty nice and fantastic though, so there’s that.

The hotel is on the roadside, next to a school, and quite noisy. The facilities are old, there is only soap in the bathroom, the smell in the room is not very friendly, and the most important thing is that the price is very high, and the cost performance is very low.

its a hotel locaited at town near to stone town city, Zanzibar urban town cuty, its lively place with 5 star service, not far from airport and also very near to port.

We returned to IFA for a vacation, since our visit with them in 2023 was absolutely wonderful! The location of IFA Beach Resort is ideal as it sits at the very beachfront, offering beautiful scenery. The staff members are warm and friendly, always ready to serve and help in any way possible. Rooms are clean and air conditioning provides a much needed break from the Zanzibar heat! Fridges in the rooms...

My family and I had an absolutely perfect stay at IFA Beach Resort ! The hotel is beautifully maintained, ideally located in a calm and peaceful setting, and the reservation team took a good care of my requests to give us an incredible spot right by the sea. Falling asleep every night to the soothing sound of the waves was simply magical … But above all, what made our experience unforgettable was...

The rooms were spacious, elegantly furnished, and impeccably clean. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. Not forgetting the stunning sea views with a clean and well maintained pool

I've been three times. In many ways a good place. -Still the restaurant doesn't get enough material, so everything is often over but there is business. The sheets and pillows are now in order, at least in my room. The swimming pool is ok but again I had to point out that even the top of the pool has to be wiped daily otherwise it will get green, maybe the pool people get a bad salary, people with Indian...

Beach side The location is perfect, directly on the long, nice and pretty calm Jambiani beach. The hotel has a large garden with flowers and palm trees around the pool area. Some sun beds directly on the beach (with a small fence so vendors not walking straight in) Good breakfast. We had a large basic room eith big bed and huge balcony with excellent sea view.

Very good hotel with great workers. Very well located in front of the beautiful sea. Thank you for everything !

The staff were absolutely amazing - really made us so incredibly comfortable. The restaurant food was delicious. The accommodation is just a short walk from the beach. Loved our stay.

Calm place that deserve to be visited Friendly staff

Friendly staff ❤️ Tasty Food in restaurent and calm place really deserve to be visited

We enjoy the stay all was wonderful the hotel is far few steps feom the beach , all basic things in the room and the food is amaZing

very cozy budget hotel, you can fimd everything basic you want feom fridge to safe box to ac there restaruent is the best in kendwa , all people from others hotel came to eat there , the rooms are clean with daily cleanong and free wifi , the hotel have frew access to a privet beach for free.

Very nice restaurant, the food is really good and for affordable price. The staff is nice too. I definitely recommend.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very kind and helpful. The hotel’s location is wonderful.

We stayed here for a week. Alex was super friendly. Breakfast was delicious. All the team was warm and open. Thank you for the lovely experience. They are there to help you whenever you need for example a taxi. Asante Sana, from Assala and Sarah

Probably the best hotel in this area, which is the south branch of Jambiani. Extremely friendly and helpful service all round. Excellent queen bed with mosquito net (not that I needed it at the time). However no fridge in the rooms. Meals are on demand pretty much any time, always fresh and excellent. Breakfast choices are limited but very good, i.e. there's no breakfast buffet as in resorts (for that...

The employees are very kind. There was no air conditioner, but I was able to sleep because the wind was blowing through. Mosquito nets are a must. It's like sleeping in a bungalow at a campsite. The view in front of the beach is spectacular.

Amazing location right at the beach, clean and comfy rooms, nice breakfast. Nasrin and Erwin were great hosts and the employees fullfilled our every wish from food&drinks to organazing activities. Thank you so much.

Great waking dream 🌴🌊💫 Great atmosphere, very comfortable bed, friendly service, the noise of the ocean is priceless. Wonderful and welcoming host.

Absolutely amazing stay. Sushant , Excellent Service Gertrude at Reception very kind and Friendly. I will definitely recommend Al Johari *****

Traditional hotel in Stone town and great sea view from rooftop restaurant. Budget friendly and clean. Dedicated staff and helpful

Great location, amazing architectural history A wonderful hotel, fabulous location, bristling with architectural history - a stunning building. On the room - there was no safe; bed too big for the room layout (a big bed is a good thing); the mattress was a bit "tired"; TV channels poor - needs DSTV ..... otherwise fabulous

I paid circa $50 for one night here on a work trip. For that price I think it was a complete bargain. Location is great, no night clubs / chickens crowing next door so quiet. I didn’t have breakfast there so can’t comment on food (so many choices within a 5-10 min walk). This is not a luxury hotel like a Hyatt or Serena. Instead it’s bursting with Stone Town character, amazing location,...

Lovely staff, great location, Puzzle Coffee across the street

This is a unique property in the Stone Town area of the Zanzibar, close vicinity to the Forodha Park , the hotel is quiet and gives you a feel of the ancient times a great break from the new modern hotels

Vert serene and Great location, nice view of the ocean. Very very slow service. There is a charge of Tsh5000 entrance free that is paid cash and you have to pay as long as you get inn no matter how much you spend on food and drinks.

We stayed at Kajiji Beach Resort from the evening of the 21st Dec to the morning of 27th December. We arrived late on the 21st so went straight to our room, lovely air conditioned and clean Linen. We went to the dinning area the following morning and sadly walked past a resort that was dirty with plastic cups bottles paper napkins and bottles scattered all over. We had our breakfast, and returned to...

My wife and I stayed here for 12 hours, but that was by choice due to an extended layover at Dar es Salaam. We selected Kijiji to be near the beach, it has a pool and a decent room to relax it while we wait for our flights. The taxi to the hotel costs $35, and upon check in, we waited for about an hour for our room (we checked in early, so no fault on the hotel here). Area grounds were nice, but for...

The biggest advantages of this resort are the food, the beach, and the staff. The rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. The only issues I had were with the AC remote, which kept breaking, and the drain in the shower, which was clogged (but it was fixed quickly). The swimming pool wasn’t very clean, so I didn’t use it. The spa is cheap but not really worth a visit, I paid for a 1-hour massage and...

Rooms are so good, and having a dressing room, bathrooms are also really good. Beds are also so comfortable with a mosquito net, WIFI is perfect. Restaurant food is good with a moderate pricing, and bar is also excellent. There are so friendly rabbits roaming inside the hotel complex, but they get scared so easily. Water in the pool is always foggy, so I could not swim in it. Swimming in the ocean...

It's cool place to chill with relatives and exchange some ideas 💡

We had a lovely time in this hotel, it’s a little paradise. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful also with program recommendations. They have a very good restaurant and also a beach bar with sunbeds and with an extraordinary view. The fruits they gave with the breakfast were very tasty. The rooms were clean and they sprayed our room every day with antimosquito spray. They offer a lot of programs...

The hotel has a great ambience, along with a lovely pool and well‑maintained amenities, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were truly friendly and helpful, always readily available when we needed assistance. One of the highlights is the excellent location, very close to Nungwi Beach, which made it easy to spend time by the beach and fully enjoy the surroundings. The restaurant staff...

I definitely recommend staying at Maisha. Calm location and close to Nungwi beach and central area. Clean rooms and amazing service. A massive shoutout to their staff: all of them very friendly, helpful, polite and always with a smile. Interaction with guests was beyond any place I have stayed before! Well done to all of the team!

The Maisha Nungwi was a wonderful place to start our honeymoon! The people were extraordinary, friendly and helpful. The Beach Bar/Restaurant is awesome, the food is great, the view is beautiful. We recommend booking the Nungwi walking Tour with Izzy (!) The dolphin/snorkelling experience was also great. There were some small "hiccups" like a lot of mosquitos even tho the hotel tries to keep them away...

We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at Nungwi Beach Boutique Hotel. They have great location. It is true, that it is not on the beach, but it is a minute away. As well as their second bigger restaurant, which is on the beach and has an amazing sunset atmosphere at the dinner. We enjoyed food there very much and staff was so friendly. The room was clean and well equipped with both air conditioning...

The hotel is great, 2 little pools inside the garden, stuff are super nice. There is a beach club owned by the hotel. Beach chairs, food & drinks are all within a walkable distance. Downside - wifi is not very stable inside the hotel, beach club has a better connection in general. The water stopped twice when i wanted to take a shower, eventually i went down to the pool shower.

The hotel bedroom furnished is out of style. The bathroom is very small. The hotel is located right by the public market and bus station. It is very convenient walking around the city center, where there are so many businesses and banks. The staff was awesome and friendly. The restaurant has a nice view where you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the city view.

The hotel is located in the center of Arusha, opposite the bus station. The area is very busy, and traffic can be very congested during rush hour. However, it is in a lively part of the city, surrounded by various markets, shops, and artisans of all kinds. The food is decent, and overall a positive experience.

As it is near the Central Market and bus terminal, noise can be a concern in the morning.

The facilities are not good. The elevator stops. There are power outages. It's lively and noisy at night. The staff is friendly and nice. The room is not bad. There is no hair dryer or razor. There is no shampoo. The worst thing is that they say I haven't paid when I check out. They don't check even though I paid online by credit card. They ask me for proof, which is annoying.

We just stayed for one night before our safari started. The hotel itself was fine. Nothing fancy, but clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It also has a nice little restaurant. One thing to be aware of is that the surrounding area is very busy, with a market, bus station, and a mosque very close. So, there was quite a bit of city noise during our stay.

Spacious room with double bed, coffee table and two chairs. Basic bathroom with hot shower. Hotel is opposite bus station so room is very noisy. We ate breakfast on the balcony from where you can observe all the hustle and bustle of the bus station. Breakfast was good and waitress serving breakfast was friendly (unlike receptionist upon arrival). Porter helped to organise a taxi to the airport.

We cannot commend this resort enough! It was an absolute fabulous stay and Julius the Manager is absolutely amazing! Amazing food and ambience! A resort well maintained and well run!

Fabulous hotel in lovely location. Rooms are individual bungalows some with private pools. The staff are amazing - thanks especially to Frank. Food was delicious

Love love love it here! We Felt so welcome the start and from then it only got better. Everything we asked for was given. What I really liked was the small scale and how the staff knew your name and took a great effort to fullfill your personal needs. It was so clean and beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are spacious. And everything was so beautifully decorated. The food and drinks were perfect...

Thank you so much to KHEIR and SHAIBU (I hope I wrote it right) for the very nice gesture they made to us when we asked for theirs hats and made us also 2 hats from the Palma tree leafs! They are gardening employees and very nice people! Also the whole staff is very nice specially the waiter you get assigned, we got Martini but were many others always having good conversation. The food is very very...

This is an excellent hotel located directly on the long beautiful beach on the east coast of Sansibar. The hotel has a large pool sourounded by palm trees and other tropical plants. Very friendly management and staff who pay attention to you whenever needed. Good food and a large selection of wines and drinks. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. A lovely place to spend your holiday on Sansibar

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always friendly — everyone had a smile on their face. A special thank you to the lovely lady who served us every day during breakfast and dinner; she was truly wonderful! The hotel was also clean, tidy, and beautifully maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

My flight got cancelled. Precision Air provided me with this hotel to stay overnight. This is an old hotel, but it is quite beautiful. It is located outside the city center of Arusha. It is not close to business stores and the public market. The room is very beautiful. The only downside was that the shower water did not drain well down to the sewage pipe. They only provided two bath towels and no hand...

Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Life-Changing Safari Experience! My recent 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Lush Expeditions was nothing short of magical! From the moment we left Arusha, everything was perfectly organized, making the trip stress-free and deeply enjoyable.

Very good welcome from Winnie and Rita a very good teamwork from the two. We loved the rooms which were very spacious. Very big compound and good gardens. The breakfast enough. A nice place to be with family. My daughter loved the place.at the time of our visit the pool was not functioning under repairs. Hope to visit next when it is working. Shukran

The rooms are spacious and clean. The gardens within the hotel area dramatically improve the aesthetics. The staff are friendly and experienced in running such a hotel. The meals are well prepared and tasty. Wi-Fi in all places in the hotel keeps one connected.

After reading the reviews, we decided to cancel our reservation. However, our host asked us to go take a look at it first. Upon arriving at the hotel, we found that the rooms were very nice. The restrooms were very nice. A/C worked very well. The food in the restaurant was very good. We had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Would we stay there again? Absolutely! Great price, great service, friendly...

This room was very clean, had AC, and a refrigerator. It was a very nice place to stay. Food was good too. Staff were pleasant. The spout from the shower did not work very good, but the sprayer worked just fine so no issues showering. There was hot water as well. I would definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience! Hosea and Yucinta were great! Very clean and welcoming. Would stay here many more times!

We had a beautiful time at African Tulip. The staff took such good care of us and the service was definitely customised for us. The rooms are big and beautiful and they felt so cozy. The hotel is also centrally located in Arusha, as we were able to take an afternoon walk to Arusha town center.

We started and ended our Tanzania safari here and absolutely loved our time here. Everyone is so friendly. The place is spotless and the food was excellent. We highly recommend it!

Delightful first class luxury boutique hotel with, spacious rooms, an outstanding restaurant, delicious food, and very friendly and helpful staff. And all that — considering the luxury — for a very reasonable price. There is a lovely small pool with a bar. Conveniently located in a quiet part of Arusha city center, easily accessible from Kilimanjaro Airport. Since I have been booking our safaris with...

Fantastic staff, food and atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and willing to help. Keep up the great work!

Amazing staff and amazing rooms. I loved the amenities in the room like the soap, water jugs and quality bedding.

The staff was amazing...especially Mohammad..alwaus smile and house keepers

I had a great stay for 2 nights. The beach is breathtaking, food was great (dinner was $12) and the manager, Gray, took excellent care of me. I felt very safe walking alone but anytime ai needed a ride, Gray got me a driver. A/C, bottled water, internet, all good.

5/5 one of the best affordable accommodation out there located infronf of the beach it was so nice to be there the staff where so helpful the breakfast was so Good to be included

Peace and quiet. Really nice beach so peaceful in the mornings during the day there is the odd seller trying to push tours but nothing like stone Town and Nungwi so many bars and restaurants with direct beach access. If you visit anywhere in zanzibar put jambiani on the list

Satisfied, the front desk was very welcoming

Some photos do not correspond to reality., Also, when I booked the hotel, there was information that there would be shampoo, but there wasn’t any, plus there was no Wi-Fi in the room, although the description stated that there would be free Wi-Fi, but there was Wi-Fi only at the reception.

There are renovated rooms, as well as old rooms. Some rooms have a refrigerator, some rooms do not. The air conditioner is located directly above the bed, and the blanket is a sheet. In the old rooms there is no partition between the toilet and shower. The location is great, if not for the "den" on the nearest street, where local drinkers hang out)) You will definitely not be able to pass unnoticed...

Beautiful spot, overlooks the ocean. Hot showers, fresh breakfast (fruits, juice, tea or coffee, eggs and toast), and very kind staff. The restaurant in front of it is AMAZING too. Our group loved it.

Nice place considering the price. I had to switch rooms because the air conditioning didn't work. Location was great, right on the beach.

+ Great location and not very expensive. +Beach is really good, swimming even at low tide possible. - Standard breakfast: toast and omelet. (2 additional tests cost $2). - Service is super slow. - Mosquito net has holes. - Internet slow

As far as I can tell it's the cheapest place that you are looking at the beach off the porch or balcony. I paid 30$ for a room with a fan and an AC room costs 40$. I have peeked at other rooms that are nice but my room is unsophisticated ( no nightstands there is a space for a wardrobe but not one there!) Not dingy though and cleaned every day. The bathroom is a little lacking. Old but not terrifying...

You won't regret to visit the place.

Great place, unlike one of the reviewer wrote,

A hidden gem in Mbeya. Rooms are nice and clean, staff is attentive. The restaurant serves wonderful authentic local foods. There are some outdoor tables for an afternoon beer and even a bar with live music on Friday nights. Why there is a bar with live music is a bit odd as there are not many guests. I travel in many remote areas of the world, and can assure you this is an oasis in Tanzania....

This is a beautiful quiet place just outside of downtown Mbeya. It is close enough to shopping but still tucked away in a quiet place around beautiful plants and water. They have a nice restaurant and bar, nice simple rooms and secure parking. The only issue I have with this place is that when ordering food it takes around and hour to get your food. This happened on 2 separate occasions I ate here...

Very beautiful environment outside, very good hotel.

It is a cool place with good customer service. I only went for an office dinner whereby we experienced a very good customer service. The price are relatively ok. The environment is superb.

The location is classic, a 5-10 minute walk through Stone Town's iconic alleys. The fruit market is only a 1-2 minute walk away. The rooms are clean.

Excellent place with wonderful service and kind staff. Some of the amenities were a little old but for they worked. Overall, the price is good for the service you get.

breakfast is my only issue there its very poor but room ,bathroom was good it was quite l slept like a baby hot shower gives them high score but no kettle or water was not that good especially coming back from a hot day .otherwise the place is better than other places l slept in zanzibar

The room was very small, our towels were taken away and never brought back and our shower was not working. However the hotel is hidden in a little street which is nice and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast on the roof top is very nice. Since the whole town is doable by foot, the location is good. It is close to the fish market and the main road, and about 10 to 15 minutes walk...

Clean and comfortable in the heart of Stone Town. Close to the market for spices and coffee. We walked allot and explored all the local markets. It's not difficult to find if you tell the driver to go to Kokoni street. The breakfast needs serious improvement. The rooms were neat and comfortable with a TV. They don't serve lunch or dinner so venture out and enjoy FORODHANI night market! 8 minute walk...

This hotel is centrally situated in Stone Town it provides cool marble floors in its delightful rooms with private bathroom. It is one of the older buildings and original features can be seen. The breakfast is served on the roof terrace that catches the breeze and has good views on all directions. There is no lift or disabled access

This is the most amazing place to stay in Zanzibar, we booked for my wifes birthday and they did not disappoint. An amazing holiday which will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Thankyou to Pradeesh for everything ftom prganisind room decorations and birthday surpries meals. We cant thank you and your team enough.😋

Our stay at Sensation Hotel was beyond amazing — truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely cared about our comfort. A huge special thank you to Pardeep, who is an absolute superstar. He and his team were always there whenever we needed anything — always listening, always...

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would 100% choose it again when coming back to Zanzibar. Everything was spotless and very well maintained, and we truly appreciated how careful the staff were with daily spraying to keep mosquitoes and other insects away — it made a big difference and made us feel very comfortable. The atmosphere is extremely quiet, safe, and perfect for relaxation. What really...

We had a fantastic stay at Eco-Chic Sensations in Zanzibar. The hotel is beautiful and unique, with soft sand all over the ground, which really adds to the relaxed island vibe. The weather was lovely and hot, and the whole place is incredibly pretty and peaceful. The staff were all so kind, welcoming, and genuinely lovely, always happy to help and making us feel very well looked after. The massage...

We stayed at Sensations Eco-Chic Hotel and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The suite itself was stunning — incredibly spacious, luxury and perfect for a longer stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. The service was outstanding throughout our stay. Having a dedicated WhatsApp group made everything effortless, from arranging reservations to small requests — nothing was...

Very nice hotel with great staff & exceptional food. However, be aware that early check is eye wateringly expensive. After an overnight flight we were exhausted & felt as if we had been mugged for $150 as we arrived for less than 4 hours in a room that had already been serviced & was ready for us.
